Nonsynaptic modulation of neuronal activity in the brain: electric currents and extracellular ions review

Endpoint

• effects on the neurological system: sensitivity of neurons to electric fields: electrical stimulation, tissue conductivity, sensitivity to electric fields, sensitivity of mammalian cortex to electric fields, modification of neuronal growth and structure, other biological effects, assessing the roles of electric fields; field interaction in populations of neurons
• electronic gap junctions, ephaptic transmission between specific neurons; extracellular ions; calcium field bursts; functional significance

Exposure

• • DC
  • electric field
  • static electric field
• • electric current application
